SHOW SNIPPETS:
“I remember feeling the most overwhelming joy and trust in God that I still cannot describe”
“In the census it’s one question. Anyone with a faith knows that it’s a lot more than one question’s worth to explain that journey.”
“How do we stay true to what the truth is, but also present it in a way that draws people in, rather than puts walls up?”
“One of the greatest attractors to investigating religion and spirituality is someone who is living out a genuine and authentic faith”
“We love to resource leaders, to help them make evidence-based decisions”
“I think one of the challenges with Christians is that we can be very involved in our churches and almost get in a bubble from what reality is”
(not Sophie saying this) “Negative feelings come from things that happen inside the church. Maybe try to push the Jesus thing, rather than come to church to find out about Jesus.”
“The same God of the mountain is the same God of the valley”
